Parisian design plans

International PR and corporate communications consultancy Burson-Marsteller has plans to set up a new design and advertising division in Paris.

‘We are considering it but nothing is confirmed,’ says Burson-Marsteller marketing director Annabel James. It is not known if the proposed expansion will involve the acquisition of a French design group.

In June 1997, the group took over design consultancy Giant to form Marsteller Giant.
